Scene 07 – Big Trials

This was a fun shot to figure out. The whole thing lasts about a second and a half and we had to get two sets and costume changes in! The doctor’s suit is attached to a string that gets pulled. The jail cell background slides in and the jail cell bars are actually the back of a wooden chair that was spray painted silver, held up in front of the camera then dragged backwards. Good times!

* A little JibJab trivia – a very good friend of ours was actually selected as an alternate juror for the trials so we tucked her into the crowd in the background. Hopefully some day she’ll write an essay about the experience!
